Pavement Marking Guidance

This bulletin updates the pay items, in coordination with Roadway Design Bulletin 15-02, for the selection of pavement marking materials. The criteria and guidelines inc luded in the bulletin were developed by a Department wide task team to clarify and agree on the proper pavement marking material selection for each application. The method of measurement and basis of payment were also updated in the specifications, to be consistent across the various pavement marking sections.

REQUIREMENTS

I . Meet the requirements of Roadway Design Bulletin 15-02, including the Plans Preparation Manual

(PPM) changes for Pavement Marking Materia ls Selection. 2. Meet the requirements of Estimates Bulletin l5-02/Roadway Design Bulletin 15-03 for Rumble Stripe.

IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

Effective with the July 2015 letting, update the pay items in accordance with the Roadway Design Bul letin and

PPM changes and the changes noted below. Refer to the Roadway Design Bulletin for additional guidance.

The following pay item changes have been made. Shaded areas are for maintenance use. Pay item and description changes are noted with redline and strikesllt. Note the unit of measure changes, especially for solid, 3-9 dotted and 2-4 dotted/ guidelines.

Estimators: Carefully review quantities for all pay item changes. Update unit prices as needed.

701-1A-8CD AUDIBLE & VIBRA.TORY PROFILED THERMOPLASTIC Use Profiled Thermoplastic on concrete pavement for edge lines and center lines on all rural two lane and multi-lane,flllsh shoulder, rural, non-limited access facililies, where posted ~peed is 50 mph or greater. Contrast is not allowed with profiled thermoplastic markings. These markings are NOT used on bridges with concrete riding surfaces, due to vibration/durability; refer to PPM guidance for concrete bridges.

The pay items for Audible & Vibratory Pavement Marking have been updated to include "Profiled Thermoplastic" in the description field. After a transition period of approximately one year, the term "Audible & VibratOty" will be removed. During the transition period, either the old, transition, or new description is acceptable in the plans. DO NOT require a plans revision to change the pay item description.

Not valid for transverse or other markings.

Pay items for "asphalt surfaces" will be valid through 6-30-2015. Rumble Stripe is required for asphalt swfaces, in accordance with Roadway Design Bulletin 15-02.

709-1A-BCD TRAFFIC STRIPE-TWO REACTIVE COMPONENTS Two Reactive Componenls may be used as an alternative to Standard Thermoplastic markings for edge lines and skip lines on asphalt surfaces and edge lines only on concrete swfaces. The use must be approved by both the Districl Maintenance Engineer and the District Construction Engineer on a project specific basis.

For existing asphalt surfaces, contact the District Maintenance Engineer to determine i/black paint contrast is required for skip lines, messages and arrows.

Not valid for transverse or other markings. (Possible fil/ure use for transverse markings is under review by Product Evaluation.)

Use Durable Paint for refurbishment of markings on existing asphalt surfaces where the service life of Refilrbishment Thermoplastic is not required. Contact the District Maintenance Engineer to determine if Durable Paint is acceptable.

For refurbishment markings, consider thefollowingfactors: • Required service life • TraJJic volumes • Cost of markings • Thickness and conditions of existing markings • Other special requirements such as contrast or rumble striping

The term "Guideline " was changed to "2-4 Dotted " on Design Standard Index 17346. DO NOT require a plans revision to update this pay item description change.
